Did you know?

Bioenergy is a form of renewable energy generated when we burn biomass fuel.

Why do we use bioenergy?

We need to reduce the amount of fossil fuel we burn to meet carbon reduction goals.

Bioenergy serves as a renewable, low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, particularly valuable in hard-to-reach sectors like aviation and shipping. 

Its potential for carbon capture is integral to future climate-friendly energy systems. However, sustainable production and usage are crucial to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. 

Improved processes can enhance organic waste and forest management. 

To manage emission risks, strategies include planting more trees, sourcing suitable wood fuel, avoiding energy crop growth on high-carbon land, employing efficient technology, and monitoring emissions. 

Compliance with EU biomass sustainability criteria ensures environmental responsibility.
